Purpose
The purpose of this literature review is, first, to understand how employees with disabilities in the context of COVID-19 have been studied under the talent management (TM) approach; second, to explore what we know about the predictors and outcomes that have been linked to TM practices in that area; and third, to identify gaps in our unders...
Payout policy constitutes one of the most important corporate financial decisions since dividends are essential factors in determining a firm’s value. A dividend announcement generates a market signal which translates into changes in stock returns, impacting short-term price fluctuations and producing abnormal returns. The sample consists of 394 co...
Investing in energy efficiency measures is a major challenge for SMEs, both for environmental and economic reasons. However, certain barriers often make it difficult to invest in such measures. Although public financial support helps to overcome economic barriers, public bodies face the challenge of identifying which SMEs display the greatest poten...
Purpose
This study explores what impact high-performance work practices (HPWP) – from the ability-motivation-opportunity (AMO) framework – might have on financial performance among family firms and examines the mediating role played by family-centered goals (FCGs).
Design/methodology/approach
The empirical approach is based on data collected from...
The literature on innovation has been very prolific in highlighting the importance of companies developing new products, processes or business models in order to be more competitive in the marketplace. Empirical studies have shown that this innovative activity has translated into superior results for companies that have engaged in innovation. Howev...
The widespread critical evidence surrounding executive compensation of listed corporations has boosted shareholder activism in recent decades. The say‐on‐pay (SOP) mechanism—a vote in which shareholders express their (dis)agreement with executive pay designs—is one of the corporate governance mechanisms that has led to this activism among listed fi...
The COVID-19 pandemic posed a major challenge to universities. It forced them to face the urgent need to rapidly transform their traditional onsite teaching into an emergency remote teaching (ERT) model rather than being able to gradually introduce an effective transition to an online model. Based on a sample of 505 students enrolled in the course...
The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a sudden drop in companies’ sales and turnover, which resulted in serious liquidity and solvency problems. In an effort to cushion these unfavourable effects, a credit guarantee plan was launched in 2020 by the Spanish Government to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 by injecting firms with liquidity. This paper seeks...
Este trabajo ha obtenido el accésit del Premio Estudios Financieros 2022 en la modalidad de Recursos Humanos. El say-on-pay (SOP) es una votación realizada en junta general que permite al accionariado pronunciarse –mediante un voto a favor, en contra o una abstención– acerca de la idoneidad de la retribución directiva. Esta votación, implementada o...
A growing interest in human resource management (HRM) in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) has not been accompanied by increased knowledge of how different HRM policy orientations can affect SMEs' effectiveness. In this way, the goal of this paper is twofold: to test whether the orientation of HRM towards high-performance work practices (HPWP) –r...
The study of Say-on-Pay (SOP) – a shareholder vote on executive compensation – is a key topic in the corporate governance field, despite which its influence in the context of family firms has not been studied until now. In response to this need, this paper pursues a twofold objective: first, to analyze differences in shareholder voting behavior bet...
La pandemia originada por la COVID-19 ha derivado en una profunda crisis económica a nivel mundial, a la que la Unión Europea (UE) ha respondido a través de un ambicioso plan de recuperación orquestado por medio del paquete Next Generation EU –cuya ejecución en España está guiada por las disposiciones contenidas en el plan España Puede. La ejecució...
PURPOSE
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the influence of managerial discretion on the effectiveness of say on pay (SOP) as a governance mechanism. This goal covers an important gap since the issue of how effective SOP is in promoting more aligned compensation has proved somewhat controversial.
METHODOLOGY
This empirical research opted for...
Las políticas públicas tienen una especial relevancia en el ámbito de la innovación, dado que buscan minimizar los obstáculos que tienen las organizaciones (principalmente relacionados con las limitaciones de acceso a la financiación) que dificultan el diseño e implementación de actividades innovadoras. Sobre la base de una muestra de empresas espa...
Recent studies show that the use of self-assessment activities is a key learning mechanism, since they provide an important feedback that increases students’ motivation promoting greater responsibility on their own learning. Similarly, the evidence indicates that the use of gamification tools improves students’ extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. C...
Numerous recent investigations have shown that the use of self-assessments constitutes an important learning strategy, since, in addition to holding the student responsible for their own learning, the feedback they provide constitutes a factor of great motivational relevance. Likewise, evidence has been obtained that the use of gamification can int...
Say on pay (SOP) is a form of shareholder activism where shareholders express their opinions on executive compensation by casting a vote in the annual general meeting. To date, although a large variety of results, antecedents and outcomes have been mentioned and discussed, knowledge about SOP is still limited. This study, through a systematic liter...
La gestión de recursos humanos ha sido tradicionalmente estudiada en el ámbito de las grandes empresas. Sin embargo, en los últimos años hay un gran interés en caracterizar a las microempresas, pequeñas y medianas empresas (pyme), en analizar cómo las prácticas de recursos humanos son implementadas en ellas, y en verificar cuál es el impacto de dic...
Say-on-Pay (SOP) is considered a corporate governance mechanism which allows sharehold-ers to vote on executive compensation in listed firms. Using a sample of 113 Spanish firms from 2011 to 2018, this paper analyzes the main effects of SOP on executive compensation by considering different vote typologies. The paper then empirically examines how i...
In the European Higher Education Space, students assume responsibility for their own learning. Using more dynamic methodologies like the flipped classroom, students increase their autonomy, responsibility, communication and flexibility in their learning process. This study uses a sample of 254 students on the Degree in Labor Relations and Human Res...
In the European Higher Education Area, students assume responsibility for their own learning. Using self-assessment activities (carried out on virtual platforms), students increase their autonomy, responsibility, communication and flexibility in their learning process. This study uses a sample of 356 students during the academic year 2016/2017. The...
Say on pay (SOP) is a relatively new governance mechanism that allows shareholders to pronounce on the suitability on executives’ compensation. The literature has mainly examined SOP effects on Anglo Saxon contexts of corporate governance, reporting mixed results and highlighting the need to deepen our understanding of its real impact, as well as i...
